Chapter 506: 293. The Degree of Dependency_3

The trembling in her gradually subsided. She tilted her head up, her beautiful eyes misty with tears, her aggrieved appearance made Liu Xin’an irresistibly lower his head to cover her lips with his.

Usually the active one, Liu Xin’an found himself in a passive position this time. Bae Juhyun was truly frightened; she cooperated with Liu Xin’an in every possible way, as if using this method to express her feelings for him.

Her passion made Liu Xin’an feel uneasy. Eventually, he placed a firm hand on Bae Juhyun’s fragrant shoulder and, for the first time, took the initiative to pause the deep kiss.

The separation of their lips made Bae Juhyun even more uneasy. Her misty eyes trembled as she leaned forward to continue.

But Liu Xin’an, understanding that something was off with Bae Juhyun, merely held her close, resting his head on her fragrant shoulder.

"Juhyun, you don’t have to do this. I never thought about those things."

"Mmm... I’m scared..."

Liu Xin’an really wished he could smack himself. Why bring up those things for no reason?

"Don’t be scared, I’m here, it’s okay."

With his gentle reassurance, the utterly terrified Bae Juhyun finally calmed down significantly. She pushed Liu Xin’an onto the sofa and then laid her whole body on top of him as if using his body as a bed.

Listening to the strong heartbeat of the man, Bae Juhyun murmured to herself or perhaps confided in Liu Xin’an.

"I might not be able to leave you."

"That kind of thing will never happen, I promise."

Bae Juhyun placed her hand on the sofa and propped herself up.

Her satin-like black hair fell down her sides, accentuating her already fair and delicate face.

With red-rimmed eyes, Bae Juhyun’s face was full of seriousness. She looked at Liu Xin’an, who was staring at her, and spoke word by word.

"Without you, Xin’an, I’d really go crazy."

"So no matter what happens, whether we argue or have a cold war, never say..."

She wanted to voice all her feelings but realized that she didn’t even have the courage to utter those two words.

Her trembling voice made Liu Xin’an’s heart ache.

He reached out and pulled the rising Bae Juhyun back into his arms.

He pointed to his heart.

"It says that what you’re worried about will never happen."

"Mmm..."

The strong, powerful heartbeat finally dispelled Bae Juhyun’s fear.

She cast aside all her fears and confusion, completely relaxing on Liu Xin’an’s body.

They lay quietly like that for a long time until the ringing of a phone disturbed their peaceful rest.

Liu Xin’an gently patted the woman clinging to him like an octopus and pointed to the phone beside them.

"Get it yourself; I don’t want to move."

Bae Juhyun, still exhausted from her fear, didn’t want to move a single finger.

Left with no choice, Liu Xin’an sat up, with Bae Juhyun draped over him like a security belt, not moving an inch as his arm still encircled her waist.

"Hello..."

"Ah, leave it at the door, I’ll come down to get it."

"Alright, thank you so much."

It was Chinese that she couldn’t understand. Did something happen?

When Liu Xin’an hung up the phone, she urgently inquired with her eyes.

"Takeout. Let go of me; I need to get the takeout."

Bae Juhyun shook her head vigorously. In her current state of extreme insecurity, releasing him was the last thing she wanted.

"Let’s go like this. No one will spot me if I don’t look up."

Bae Juhyun must have had a lapse in judgment to say such words.

Liu Xin’an was stunned. He paused for a few seconds before laughing helplessly, gently patting the woman’s back.

"Crazy?"

"Yes, crazy. Let’s go public right now; I’ll post it on Instagram."

Bae Juhyun seemed out of her senses, reaching for her phone, startling Liu Xin’an who quickly confiscated it, putting it in his pocket.

"Hey! Are you really crazy?"

"Mmm, I want the whole world to know you’re mine."

Bae Juhyun wrapped her arms around Liu Xin’an’s neck, seriously gazing into his eyes.

"...Am I a thing?"

"You’re not a thing!"

"..."

Liu Xin’an fell silent, clearly realizing that the non-Chinese-speaking Bae Juhyun didn’t know that this phrase wasn’t appropriate in Chinese.

"Stop kidding, I might take it seriously."

"I’m not joking; I really want to post it."

"What about your work? Are you not renewing your contract?"

"Not renewing! I can support myself, I’ve made a lot of money!"

Of course, Bae Juhyun was just kidding around.

If she were alone, she might really think about not renewing her contract or even quitting the industry to live out her life with Liu Xin’an.

But she was never just herself; besides being Bae Juhyun, she was also Irene, the leader of Red Velvet.

The responsibility of being a leader wouldn’t let her do such a thing. If she ran away, what would happen to the members?

Since the company was already paying less attention to them with the launch of new girl groups, if she really left now, Red Velvet might quickly fall out of favor.

That’s something she could never do.

"Crazy?"

Bae Juhyun snorted lightly, releasing her hold, and slid off Liu Xin’an.

She sat on the sofa, grabbing a nearby pillow to hug, waving her hand in frustration.

"Go quickly, I’m starving."

"..."

Liu Xin’an was speechless. How could she change her mood so quickly?

A moment ago, she looked like she couldn’t live without him, and now she was already showing disdain?

Women really are mysterious creatures.

He got up and walked towards the door.

But just as he took a step, Bae Juhyun’s voice made him freeze.

"Give me my phone, are you taking my phone with you?"

"No way, what if you really post on Instagram?"

"I was just kidding; did you actually take me seriously?"

Bae Juhyun walked up behind Liu Xin’an, humorously poking at his back, her playful tone making the corners of his mouth twitch.

This woman was truly... something else...
